A great snack just hits the spot. But it’s not all about taste. Too much sugar can cause a crash, while too much salt can cause uncomfortable bloating/water retention. Moreover, it’s key to have some fiber and protein in the mix to help with satiety.
So, where does that leave us? Well, luckily with plenty of options.
Click through our slideshow below for a look at some of the latest snacks to munch on as you plan your spring 2023 wardrobe.
Craving For A Healthy
-
Theo's
Theo's Beet Jerky is the first organic vegetable-based jerky (comes in Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, Sesame-Ginger Teriyaki and Savory BBQ). It's minimally processed, gluten-free, Paleo, vegan, whole vegetable and relatively high in plant-based fiber (4-5g per serving along with 2-3g of protein). Plus, it's packaged in sustainable, re-sealable bags for on-the-go snacking.
-
Moon Cheese
Moon Cheese makes 100% real cheese snacks that are low in sugar and carbs (though on the high side of fat given that they're cheese-based). This is the ultimate cheesy chip alternative. They also make sticks and crumbles.
-
Lenny & Larry’s
The Complete Cookie from Lenny & Larry’s has a whopping 16g of plant-based protein and 10g of fiber per cookie. Heat them in the microwave and top them with some Yasso - trust us.
-
oomph! Sweets
Formulated by a Michelin-Star chef, oomph! Sweets are better-for-you candies made without artificial sweeteners. Six pieces have a whopping 23g of fiber and only 1g of added sugar!
-
FULFIL
FULFIL Vitamin and Protein Bars have over 1,500 Amazon reviews and a 4.6-star rating - not bad for a low sugar bar (less than 1g). Plus, the bars have 15g of protein, 20% of the DV of eight vitamins and 3g or less of net carbs per serving.
-
Perfect Bar
Perfect Bar is a refrigerated protein bar - meaning the ingredients are fresh as can be. Each bar is made with organic ingredients like kale, spinach and lemon and they taste sooo good.
-
You Need This
You Need This are non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free certified, vegan certified, corn-free and rice-free. They makes tortilla chips, churro puffs and veggie straws, which offer a better alternative than your run-of-the-mill chips (they're formulated with ingredients like nutmeg, paprika and veggie blends). The only downside to these addictively delicious crunchy snacks is that they're made with sunflower oil as seed oils are best kept to a minimum.

Maple Hill Creamery's
Maple Hill Creamery's 100% Grass-Fed Organic Yogurt has no added sugar - unlike most competing options and tastes amazing with some chopped up strawberries or a little bit of high fiber cereal and cinnamon. Filling, easy and delicious!
